Wade in Easy, Boys !
Go slowly there drDave.
Certain "add-ons" may be quick and easy to attach,
but may be high maintenance,
and could cost you a lot $$ to have un-attached.
An old carpenter with 7 and 1/2 fingers told me,
"Measure Twice, Cut Once !"
I was young, and assumed he was old & wise.
But the more I thought about that,
was he talking about the board, or his fingers ???

You asked...
This was borrowed from another Board which was
borrowed from yet another different website,
but it's a major FARKLE.

Add-Ons ?
Hey drDave and Forum,
Do you think the DOHC Roadster would lend itself to having a sidecar ?
Is the new DOHC engine too much ?
Not a "drummer set", but a really functional sidecar.
A friend has an old BMW R75-5 sidecar and loves it.
GHGoodwin, one of our fellow Forum members was selling his bike
due to an unfortunate injury, and was happy using a URAL.
I have ridden the Ural just a bit, and if you take it easy and go slow,
they can be quite a stalwart commuter, and one very able pack mule.
Whaddaya' think?
Wishing all the best to you, GH.

Hey drDave, the BEST dealer add-on I got was BMW's 2 year extended warranty.
It was cheap! The ESA wasn't cheap, but I am very satisfied with it. I did NOT feel inclined to get the tire pressure sensors. The on-board computer gives me the most bling for the bucks spent.

Hmm. .will have to ask the dealer about whether I can still get that warranty. Thanks Clem! Agree about the computer, now have a 139db horn, crash bars and chrome engine covers. . .not really much to add. Anybody have an "Iphone as GPS" mount on their bike? What do you use?

I have the biologic mount, It's water proof and you can still use it with globes on.
The downside is, I haven't find an aftermarket charger that fits on it. I find myself just caring the device on my left jacket's pocket and charging it from the original outlet.

I guess this can be consider add-on, I have a pair of Scala Rider Bluetooth G4 devices. The best one of all the features is that I can communicate with the wife while riding, this becomes more like a car trip since we are talking and now she wants to get on the bike more often. There are lots of good things having these, you can hear music wireless from your Iphone, gps directions, phonecalls and more.
There is also a newer version I haven't try but it's out there. I called the G9.
